You are asking about several different things...
model = Sketchup.active_model defns = model.definitions ### the definitions in the model - components/groups/images
p defns[0].methods.sort ### for list of a definition's available methods - also see API guide http://www.sketchup.com/intl/en/developer/docs/classes.php
defns.each{|d| p d.name ### name of defn p d.instances[0].name if d.group? ### name if it's a group p d.get_attribute("dynamic_attributes", "_name", "???") ### if DC 'name' or '???' if not. p d.guid ### the unique GUID for the definition - Note: this only enduring across sessions in newer SketchUp version. }

Sooo... How much is it? and will it work with Imperial units?

Hmm ....think if I do the translation and add the ability to work in inches, it can be sold ? think...

The thing is that when downloading from the Components window real component I can get the values of any attribute (and there are about 20) except for the value of the Name attribute.

Thank you, TIG ! it works.

Hi, when create a Dynamic Component encounter this error.
Local axis component now not 90 degrees. ...

I don't know why you mentioned the DC fact in your question. This result is common for all groups an components axes when scaled with other geometry included in the selection.

When does it happen? (axes not at 90 degrees after scaling)
If you have a group or component that has axes not aligned to the current drawing axes and you scale it, then the 'Scale' tool uses the local axes ----> result is: all axes stay at 90 degrees. ---> correct!
However, when scaling the same group or component together with any other entity in the same selection, then the 'Scale' tool uses the current drawing axes and your component may get skewed. When? If you use a green middle side grip of the bounding box.
Say local red and green are not according to the drawing axes. Then any of the middle side grips (except for the middle top one) will deform the local Red/Green angle if you scale more than just the group or component in a selection.

I don't know the benefit of such an operation with skewed aces in the result.

Entity#get_attribute()

Entity#set_attribute()

The dictionary name is "dynamic_attributes"

You have an extra space in this line:

ang_def.set_attribute 'dynamic_attributes','_test_options[highlight=#ff0000:169f3gnp]_[/highlight:169f3gnp]','&yes=yes&no=no'

Yes, thanks!
All has earned.

It is OK, goga.

We love a good debate! 😛
